carnage on the trail





I suppose it happens from time to time.


As the rapidly increasing local pelton reached roughly 40 riders today (tdf inspired...of course) we had a surface sample take place.


Unbelievably, the accident was not caused by some rabid wanker who refuses to honor the steadfast rules of the peleton ( i will address that issue in a later blog).


It unfolded like this.....as the peleton motored along at a reasonable 20-21 mph pace I hear, "glass"....."hubcap" (hubcap??)....."BRICK". Yeah I said brick. As I motor by I see the brick and point to the brick. Then the surreal sound that makes your rectum pucker....... BLAM...like a water ballon hitting a weed eater. Dude on the tarmac, and it sounded bad. So bad in fact I hesitated to go back and check on the poor dude.


After a few minutes of discussion and figuring out who to blame......cuz we roll like that.....It was determined that it was just one of those crazy things that happen. Dude survived and remounted his steed.....some road rash and a busted computer....but otherwise no worse for wear.


The rest of the ride was incident free (except the the normal wankers that half wheel and yo-yo).....but non eventful none the less.


Until next time......muerte de arriba

I just dont understand. How does someone get taken out by a brick?
When your as fast and powerful as I am, you can just slice right through them.

Ironmanning, I have heard how you can slice through an entire cold pizza, in your sleep no less.

I guess a brick assures the accident prone and the blind that their wheels have built-in obsolescence.

Vuela en cuero.
